provera users?

in Trouble TTC
does your RE make you come in for BETAs before they perscribe it to you?
they are also making me do this on cd1 before they write my femara script..

i was surprised because my OB just gave me the rx for provera and told me to take an at home preg test..

    Yes, I had to go get a beta.

    I always came in for blood work and an ultrasound for a baseline for any medicated cycle, and I think they might have run a beta then too (along with estrogen and some other things).

    Well AF unexpectedly came this morning but I'm scheduled to go in for lots of b/w tomorrow. One of the tests my RE wanted was a beta so he could give me provera to get AF. So yes, my RE wants b/w before giving provera. My OB too just allowed me to do a urine test.

    Yes, even after bleeding for 6 weeks straight (it was not a real period, only irregular bleeding) and I knew I was not pregnant, my RE still did a beta before prescribing me Provera to induce a real period on me.
    Me: 37 DH: 37, married since Sept. 2013. "actively" TTC for a total of 13 months (after 7 months of TTC, took a 1 1/2 year hiatus due to work scheduling and wedding planning. Started up again after our wedding in Sept.) First evaluation by an RE November 2013

    HSG-normal
    OH-tiny polyp found, but RE assured me she doesn't think it's contributing to infertility and doesn't recommend me to remove it because it's so small.
    DH's SA-normal
    Hormones all within normal levels
    Ovarian Reserve-RE says "is great" she's not concerned about my egg quantity (which I was until I saw her and results came back good!) 

    04/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    06/2012 50mg Clomid=BFN (prescribed by OBGYN, not monitored)
    11/2013 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger=BFN (prescribed by RE, monitored with US (2 dominant follicles) and baseline bloodwork done)
    01/2014 100mg Clomid, with HCG trigger-(prescribed by RE, monitored with US-1 dominant follicle)=BFN
    06/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger (prescribed by RE, monitored with US-2 dominant follicles), IUI #1 on 7/3/14=BFN
    07/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, benched for IUI#2 this cycle, because I ovulated on my own before my follicular US. Progesterone suppositories=BFN Diagnosed with PCOS this month too. Testosterone levels high at 76. =( 
    08/2014 7.5mg Letrozole, HCG trigger with 19mm follicle. IUI#2 on 8/31 cancelled last minute due to family emergency. 
    09/2014 Taking a 3 month break starting this month. If not pregnant in 3 months, will start up again with medicated cycles and IUIs. Had all my labs and AFC re-evaluated this month also. RE says nothing much has changed since my eval last November, okay for me to take a little break. =)

    Like others, my RE needs to do bloodwork to not only do a beta but to make sure I haven't ovulated. If bloodwork indicates I may have ovulated, she can't give Provera.

    Me: 28  MH:35

    Married September 2012. TTC since September 2013

    June 2014 - Dx w/ significant PCOS and referred to RE.

    July/August 2014 - Testing complete: Testosterone & AMH very high, FSH slightly high, Vitamin D low, tubes and lining all lovely. DH SA: A+

    Cycle 1 (Nov 2014): 2.5 mg Letrozole/Ovidrel/TI = BFN

    Cycle 2 (Dec 2014): 5 mg Letrozole/Ovidrel/TI - BFN

    Cycle 3 (Jan 2015): 5mg Letrozole/Ovidrel/TI - BFN

    WTF consult scheduled for 1/29

    I also had blood work done before my GP would prescribe me provera (this was before getting into the local fertility clinic).

    No experience with Provera, but I have to get a blood pregnancy test before taking Femara again. Although, I still have the refills, they trust me to wait for the results I guess? This month it's weird, the nurse insisted that I should only come for the beta if I don't get my period (and beta is schedule for 17DPO for some insane reason). Good chance I'll end up on CD3 before that and I will go in for the beta to make sure before taking Letrozole - since the purpose behind that beta is to make sure no Letrozole is in our system if we happen to have a period but still be pregnant, which can happen. :)
